"black people don't know they culture" is the biggest falsehood

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

growing up around pro black circles I heard this often that black folk didn't know they culture and it's kinda bullshyt when you consider that are people, descendants of Africans who were enslaved, constantly innovate and drive our own culture even at conditional lows

Gullah Geechees know their culture and AAs know some of theirs even though some has been lost.

Unique in which way?

Black culture is not African culture.

Black/AA culture is a direct result of slavery, which makes it American, my breh.
